Pika at Quirky Burque describes one of the reasons people love the New Mexico State Fair —
First off, you enter a tent draped with pillows and purplish fabric. Then, the noise of The Fair dies behind you and incense lures you towards a selection of silver toe rings as the proprietor, a sweet little hippie with a possible foot-fetish, invites you to sit down and try one on. She props a pillow on her knee and takes your foot like a queen. A quick spritz to wash off any dust and soon you’re trying on toe rings as she gently attends to your feet on the pillow. So peaceful. So attentive. It’s like Mary Magdalene perfuming up the Messiah’s feet and making him try on toe rings before dinner. It’s the closest you’ll get to being a princess and it’s all yours for the price of a toe ring at the State Fair Grounds.
NewMexiKen is going to The Fair this evening, but I think I’ll pass on the toe ring tent.
